Don't do-eet.

My aunt and uncle moved to one of those soulless places in Delco a long time ago. A place that's named after what is used to be. Fox Woods Estates, or some crap. There are no more woods because you cut down all the trees to make the development. When you did that, the foxes all left. And if you can hit your neighbor's house with a stone thrown from your front porch, you don't live on an estate.

Now I'm going to have dogs and cats chasing me.

We won't, trust me. Point is we are turning 55 this year. I believe you are as well.

We may want to eventually move out of our 1-acre suburban house and into a small house in town (West Chester) so we don't have all the stupid yardwork etc....but not interested in active senior living.

Didn't see any Virginia riders. Wimps.

Del Boca Vista, Phase III!!

No. Just a desperation/maintenance ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/3028392156.

I did a CP out and back to Yorktown on Christmas, I think. I don't know if I'll be able to get in a long ride this trip.

i did yorktown to williamsburg once but it was during rush hour. Not the finest choice of times, and turned around once living became a priority. glad you got for a ride.

Chill. Your genome is full of junk DNA from retroviruses, anyway.

Weird. Not signed in. The other day someone posted a link and at least I could see the route map. Today it doesn't show me anything.

Can you see the colonial ruins from the route?

bampilot06

it’s not pompeii

datlas 

Correct. Plus, the mouse DNA is in the drug, it won't get into your genome. Prolly.

I'm being genetically-reprogrammed to become a mouse!!!

Sippy (the tabby I posted earlier) is much more tolerant to the elements than Frankie. She will happily be outside in a wide range of temperatures, down into the 50's or so. She was an outside cat for the first 6-8 weeks of her life.

Frankie is much more particular. Oftentimes when we let her out on the porch she will walk outside, do a quick 180 and walk right back in. As far as I know Frankie has always lead a pampered life indoors.

I saw a video from a few years ago that they're still doing archeological digs there. Don't know if that's still the case.

You'll need a new profile picture.

I still don't understand why someone would pay so much $$$ for a Peloton when Zwift is only $15/month and so much better.

WhyFi

They don't know any better and/or they want a trainer on-screen "motivating" them?

Will my mouse genes at least make me immune from this? #Pandemics

datlas 

Uh, the medicine is an immunosuppressant. So you will be MORE vulnerable to infections. Sad!

I had to look it up. So 2k+ for the bike and then 39 bucks a month? Honestly, it may seem like a lot, but I have what was a retail $4500 USD bike on a 500 dollar trainer. I bought it for much less (incentives from Trek for bike shop employees) and it's not even worth like 1500 bucks now, but still. I would imagine that even if a person bought the bike and subscribed year round, it wouldn't be near the cost of your road bike+mountain/cross bike+helmet+bottles+bibs+jerseys+shoes+pedals and on and on.

And yeah, to clarify: My Dura Ace eqipped Carbon Domane sits on the trainer. It hasn't seen pavement in months. My aluminum Crockett with 105 *gasp* 10 speed does all the real miles. One of these days I'll go somewhere with real hills and free the Domane from its prison.
